A few weeks back, we had a story about the poorest county in North Dakota. This week we feature a story concerning the richest county in North Dakota.

24/7 Wall St produced the list of the richest county in each state.

In recent years, residents of Williams County benefited substantially from North Dakota’s rapid economic growth. Less than 1% of the county’s workforce were unemployed in 2013, among the very lowest rates anywhere in the country. While in most affluent counties with a low unemployment rate the workforce was also well educated, this was not the case in Williams County. Less than one in five adults had at least a bachelor’s degree over the five years through 2013 — one of the lowest rates reviewed. Yet, households were still quite wealthy. Williams had a median annual household income of more than $76,000.

Williams County is in the heart of the Bakken, rich in drilling and the oil boom.
